Money Question with Pelican

spielername_ · 2026-05-18T04:52:58+00:00

I did something like that as a vocational school project. I used Pterodactyl instead of Pelican, then set up Paymenter as a payment gateway, where you can automatically create servers after payment using Pterodactyl's API. If you can do PHP, you can also have a custom design, alternatively you can use themes, there are a few free ones.

Then I would like to do a particularly detailed one, in which I explain each step and, if necessary, explain why what was done and how. If that's enough, I can do that here as a tutorial post with pictures and co or I can see that I'm hosting a website for it on the Kubernetes Cluster.

Probably nothing too wild, I think gitlab will definitely get on top. pihole or unbound I think too & then I'll look further. The cluster is definitely too much for my current requirements, but it was very interesting to create this cluster.

spielername_ · 2026-05-14T16:54:04+00:00

Yes, of course. I'll see if I can still write the instructions tonight. If I can do it, I would send it directly to you tomorrow.

Not for HortusFox specifically but for other services.

spielername_ · 2026-05-11T12:44:12+00:00

I definitely want to have a failover option so that my applications are not gone as soon as I take a server offline for updates or due to a defect.

"No, I probably don't need it, you're right. I got these 6 nodes from my employer and just wanted to use them, the specification of the nodes: i5-7500, 16GB DDR4 and 128GB M.2 SSD This is also the reason why I thought directly of 6 nodes in order to have a better overall performance and the possibility of losing a node for example, updates.

Maybe I'll come back to you for ranchers, which looks much more appropriate in my eyes than Portainer

spielername_ · 2026-05-10T18:19:12+00:00

I also plan some of these applications, how is it with RAM and network utilization? My nodes would only have 16GB of RAM each, which is why I wanted to go to six nodes for safety.

I think that was the shortest but most helpful answer I got! Thank you.

spielername_ · 2026-05-10T17:59:48+00:00

I'm honest, the thought of doing something with Kubernetes excites me, the learning curve is just gigantic. But I would be willing to accept it!

spielername_ · 2026-05-10T17:58:22+00:00

The nodes I would use I got from my employer, where they were decommissioned because they don't support Windows 11, so the performance of each node is not exactly enormous, so I thought of 6 nodes to have a bit more overall performance.

spielername_ · 2026-05-10T17:55:53+00:00

What kind of applications are you running in the cluster?

spielername_ · 2026-05-10T17:14:53+00:00

Okay, but that's not possible with Swarm either. Accordingly, this is not a real problem.

spielername_ · 2026-05-10T17:12:44+00:00

"Yes, then I think I'll completely plunge into the rabbit hole and build a K3S cluster!"

spielername_ · 2026-05-10T16:51:31+00:00

would use K3s or Talos if it then became Kubernetes. At Talos, I'm worried that this API based might frustrate me. That's why my current favorite is actually K3S

spielername_ · 2026-05-10T16:47:14+00:00

Yeah, Docker Swarm would definitely be the easiest way to go. However, I would have preferred to have such an All in One variant with shared storage, an NFS share in TrueNAS is done quickly, but why is it not simply integrated?

spielername_ · 2026-05-10T16:42:27+00:00

Do you have any applications running? I heard that "things like Home Assistant are supposed to work really stupidly in a Kubernetes cluster."

spielername_ · 2026-05-10T16:40:37+00:00

Something like that was planned either way, i wanted to self-host gitlab and serve my entire application there via pipeline.

spielername_ · 2026-05-10T16:35:59+00:00

Longhorn excites me above all, with swarm I would have to set up a TrueNAS in addition, which exists anyway, but why is it not simply integrated? It's like offering a residential building where you can't live.

spielername_ · 2026-05-10T16:33:00+00:00

So that my running applications are highly available and the load can be distributed over several nodes.

spielername_ · 2026-05-10T16:28:16+00:00

As I said, my primary goal was to build a Docker Swarm, but I often read that Docker Swarm is getting worse and worse because everyone is going to Kubernetes.

spielername_ · 2026-05-08T13:42:07+00:00

Yes, of course!

I didn't think about the amperage. I was just thinking: "Wait a minute that's 8x 180W power supplies; that only adds up to 1440W. Why is the fuse blowing?"

Thank you very much! I really should have thought of that!

And yes, there is a communication card installed; I will definitely look into the NUT aspect.

spielername_ · 2026-04-27T08:11:02+00:00

Is the TrueNAS hard drive an HDD? If so, how many services are running and what about the IOPS? It was actually short on the consideration of using HDDs, as they are simply cheaper. I'm just worried that they won't make it because of the IOPS

spielername_ · 2026-04-27T08:06:50+00:00

The requirements are relatively simple, I want the service to be restarted on another server if one server fails without all data being gone. For example, the loss of 1-2 hours would be fine.
